Check Me Out and NYSS events highlight Tioga Downs Friday night card

World Champion Check Me Out will come to Tioga Downs on
Friday night along with three divisions of the NYSS for 2-year-old filly
trotters with a post time of 6:50 pm.

Fresh off of her convincing 1:51.3 world record performance
turned in at Pocono Downs in the PASS final, Check Me Out will make her first
start against aged trotters in Friday night's $18,000 Open Trot.

Nine horses
entered and the luck of the draw did not fare so well for Check Me Out, as she
has drawn post position number nine in Friday night's eighth event.

Check Me
Out's regular pilot, Tim Tetrick, will be on hand to do the driving for trainer
and co-owner Ray Schnittker.

The 3-year-old daughter of Donato Hanover- Illusion Bi has
won nine of 11 starts this year with earnings of more than $834,000 in
2012, and more than $1.7 million in lifetime earnings.

She has made one start
at Tioga Downs in her racing career, that coming in the Tompkins-Geers last
July where she set the track mark for 2-year-old filly trotters of 1:56, a mark
which still stands today.

The track mark for 3-year-old filly trotters was set
earlier this summer by Cant Have My Moni and Tim Tetrick of 1:54.2, and as
Check Me Out's past performance lines shows that mark is in serious jeopardy
should she win.

Also highlighting the Friday night card will be three
divisions of NYSS for 2-year-old filly trotters.

Lady Riviera leads the first division for $38,043
in race number two against five other rivals. The 2-year-old daughter of Sand
Vic – La Riviera Lindy has won four of seven this year with two seconds good
for earnings of more than $92,000 for trainer, owner, breeder – Richard Banca.

The three divisions of the NYSS for 2-year-old filly trotters have been set for
races two, six, and 10 on the night's 12-race card.

Tioga Downs wraps up its 2012 racing season this weekend
with live racing on Friday, September 14 and Saturday, September 15. Friday's
post time is set for 6:50 pm, while Saturday night begins racing at 6:00 pm.
